The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is literally my favorite story [A Song of Ice and Fire]... and that's what I get... I was supposed to get my annual dose of GOT in 2025
Another added: "Damn. I was literally waiting for the trailer and release date of "Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" to come out soon and air this year."

The book is the first in the series "Dunk and Egg", the following novels "The Sworn Sword" and "The Mystery Knight" will also be adapted for future seasons. The cycle takes place between the events of "House of the Dragon" and "Game of Thrones".
The official logline reads:
A century before the events of "Game of Thrones," two unlikely heroes roamed Westeros... a young, naive, but brave knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his miniature squire, Egg
